Why NARS Laguna Bronzer Will Always Be My All Time Favourite

When I first started blogging I remember seeing post after post on the dreamy NARS Laguna Bronzer and it was one of those makeup items that I just had to try, you could say it was a cult beauty classic - It still is! I remember buying my first one as not only was it something I really wanted, but it was my first NARS purchase, so it was always going to be a little bit special. As soon as I had it, it was love and I just knew it was going to be a forever favourite. Time passed and I was devastated when I hit pan on the best bronzer I've ever used. For some reason I never blogged about it and shockingly never made a repurchase until summer last year. I'm absolutely gutted because as you'll see from my photo I'm I've  hit pan on it again, so I thought it was about time I showed my love and appreciation for my most loved bronzer.

First of all can we just take a moment to appreciate this little beauty. I don't know why, but for me NARS packaging gets me every single time. I love the way NARS pack their products, its so sleek, so simple, yet so beautiful. It's one of those makeup items that I can just get lost looking at it, please tell me I'm not the only person who gets lost in their own makeup? I really love the sound of the click the packaging makes every time I close this up, its one of those really staisfying sounds, which you find with every NARS product.

NARS have three bronzers in their range to choose from, but the only one that gets mentioned by everyone has to be Laguna and all for good reason. I love that this is a medium toned bronzer and it works perfectly if I have either tanned or paler skin, so I think that it would pretty much suit everyone.  On first impressions, Laguna looks like a matte bronzer, but when you get closer and swatch this beauty you can see that there is a very subtle golden shimmer running through it, which just gives me the most beautiful glowing skin. On those lazy days where I'm not doing a full face of makeup I use Laguna all over for that instant warmth to my skin. However Laguna never lets me down when it comes to contouring - Its perfect. I love how easy this is to blend, the powder is so smooth and whenever I contour with this, the whole thing is just dreamy.  One thing that I find with a lot of bronzers is that they can be a little muddy looking, but Laguna is just perfect in every single way, I can't find any fault with it.

I know bronzer may not be the most exciting makeup product to buy, but if you want a trusty bronzer in your makeup bag that never lets you down, then you must try NARS Laguna - It's my all time favourite and I've made a promise to never be without it again. I'm also thinking of adding 'Casino' to my collection as this looks a little darker and I think will be great for spring/summer as I tend to fake tan a lot more in these months, what do you think?

Have you tried Laguna yet or is this still on your wish list? Let me know.
